Temporary left ventricular assistance for extreme postoperative heart failure in two infants with Bland-White-Garland syndrome.
Article in Kardiochirurgia i torakochirurgia polska = Polish journal of cardio-thoracic surgery, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (Bland-White-Garland syndrome - BWG) is a serious congenital cardiac anomaly leading to myocardial ischemia with severe heart failure. Immediate surgical correction is the treatment of choice, and the risk of postoperative complications depends on the degree of myocardial injury. The authors present two cases of infants with BWG, in whom long-term (175 and 26 days) left ventricular assistance with a Berlin Heart device was used, resulting in successful weaning from the support and subsequent hospital discharge. Because of serious hemorrhagic complications and their neurological consequences observed in the first patient, the anticoagulation protocol was modified in the second patient, providing more stable support and allowing the device to be removed after a shorter period of time. The Berlin Heart left ventricular assist device may be treated not only as a bridge for transplantation but also, considering the shortage of donors in this age group, as a bridge to recovery.
